Liquid crystal display device having storage capacitors and additional opaque electrodes

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a plurality of gate signal lines arranged on a transparent insulating substrate, being parallel to each other, and being spaced by a selected distance from each other;
• an insulating layer formed on said transparent insulating substrate including the gate signal lines;
• a plurality of data signal lines arranged in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the gate signal lines, being parallel to each other, being spaced by a selected distance from each other, and difining a plurality of unit pixel regions, each bounded by an intersection of a pair of the gate signal lines with a pair of the data signal lines;
• a plurality of thin film transistors corresponding respectively to the unit pixel regions, each of the transistors having a gate, a source and a drain electrodes, said gate electrode being connected with a corresponding one of the gate signal lines, and said source electrode being connected with a corresponding one of the data lines;
• a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on said insulating layer, each of the pixel electrodes being electrically connected with said drain electrode;
• a plurality of opaque electrodes formed below said insulating layer, being arranged parallel to the data signal lines, each extending from both edge portions of each of the pixel electrodes parallel to the data lines to selected positions between said each pixel electrode and both data lines adjacent thereto, each electrically connected with said each pixel electrode through a contact plug formed in said insulating layer;
• and
• a plurality of storage electrode lines formed on said insulating layer, each being arranged parallel to the gate signal lines between each of the pixel electrodes and any one of a pair of gate signal lines adjacent to said each pixel electrode, each having a plurality of projected portions projected inwardly with respect to respective corresponding pixel electrodes such that the projected portions are overlapped with respective corresponding pixel electrodes.
